SeaWorld Entertainment, the aquatic-themed amusement park operator controlled by the Blackstone Group and home to Shamu the killer whale, has filed for an initial public -offering.

黑石集团(Blackstone Group)控股的水上主题游乐园运营商、Shamu虎鲸表演的主办方海洋世界娱乐公司(SeaWorld Entertainment)已提交首次公开发行(IPO)申请。

The company will offer up to $100m in common shares, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, although that figure is just for registration purposes and is likely to change.

提交给美国证交会(SEC)的申请文件显示，该公司将发行至多1亿美元普通股。不过，该数字仅为登记用，将来很可能发生变化。

Under the terms of the listing, Blackstone will retain majority control of the company, but it did not reveal on what date the sale will occur, or the price or quantity of shares to be offered.

根据上市条款，黑石将保留对该公司的多数控股权，但文件并未披露发股日期以及发行价和发行量。

With 11 parks across the US, SeaWorld attracted more than 24m tourists in the year ended in September, while generating revenues of $1.16bn in the first nine months of 2012, according to the filing. The company reported net income of $86.2m in the first nine months of 2012, up 72.4 per cent from $50m during the same period last year.

申请文件显示，海洋世界在美国各地拥有11座游乐园，在截至今年9月的一年中吸引了逾2400万人次的游客，在2012年头九个月里实现营收11.6亿美元。该公司2012年头九个月的净利润为8620万美元，比去年同期的5000万美元高出72.4%。
